Blame game

I love my mother dearly....she recently moved from Arizona back to Alaska as her eyesight has worsened(she had macular degeneration) and is unable to to live independently. I feel bad that I don't get over to see her, but thoughts go back to when I was really sick..........and she had my life in he hands.....I ended up in wards ......almost like see ya......resentment? I need help...anybody else have situations like this?
;

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. It must be tough to have those memories return at this time now that the situation is "reversed".

I've never been in such a situation, and I guess I can't say what I would do for sure, but I think the best thing to do would be to help her anyway? You can never know your mom's true reasons for why she did what she did.

All the best and many hugs.

Does she have anyone else who can take care of her, extended family, friends, neighbors who can check up on her? Does her insurance cover home health aide like a home nurse or even a volunteer from hospice?

We have a rather large extended family ....so she is well taken care of, good support system from the city....free transportation....visits.....

i understand where you're coming from. it's only natural to be resentful.

See your being discharged on the eleventh...great.....looks like we suffer from some the same .......depression .....anxiety....thank you so muck for the thoughtful response...as of late I'm finding more and more people here on psych central opening up...sure wish I could meet all of you good people face to face.....you can only go so far on a modern typewriter......thanks again....Artie

If you feel this sort of resentment toward her you won't be doing yourself any good forcing yourself to be the good kid. I was the good kid and I have spent so much time trying to figure out why I stood by my mom after the horrible treatment I got from her. I hope you are able to work through this..
